*****Not quite as good as the preceding 'Riot!', but still an awesome album none-the-less. There are a couple of more forgettable tracks, but the best moments shine brightly. Highlights: 'Brick By Boring Brick', 'All I Wanted' and 'Playing God'.

***A fairly average mainstream rock record with a couple of great moments, being the pummeling muscle and visceral hook in the opening songs like Ignorance and Brick and one very well done acoustic jam in Misguided Ghosts, otherwise it sounds like something that could shine brighter with less polish, anything off they're newest record kills this
